When the DW1000 is operating at 850 kbps, this
programming selects a Decawave defined non-
standard 8-symbol
SFD
, which is stronger than
the standard defined
SFD
but still a little weaker
that the data. Hence our recommendation of
the 16-symbol
SFD
defined Table 21 for best
performance at 850 kbps.

When the DW1000 is operating at 6.8 Mbps or
850 kbps, this programming selects the use of a
user configured
SFD
with length configurable in
the range 8 to 16 symbols. In this mode the user
is responsible for correctly programming the
SFD
sequence in
Register file: 0x21 – User defined
SFD sequence
.

When the DW1000 is operating at 110 kbps, this
selects the use of a user configured
SFD
with
fixed length of 64 symbols. In this mode the user
is responsible for correctly programming the
SFD
sequence in
Register file: 0x21 – User defined
SFD sequence
.
Note: Configurations other than those defined in
Table 21
or
Table 22
are not recommended. To correctly
receive a frame the receiver must use the same
SFD
sequence configuration as is being used by the remote
transmitting device.
